Love the Eyes Jams
The Phil Bombs after 11 min point in Eyes, then Billy starts going nuts. He's so on here. Then they move into a Hancock-type organ solo from Keith. Wonderful.

loved this one I guess, and though I beg to differ on 11/8/69, this time, like 80% of the time, he was quite right. I had a high-gen cassette back in the 90s based on his plug, and found that I could not get behind it. The show left me cold. After careful consideration of this version, I see what he meant. Every tune seems to have the little bit extra, and it's possible to hear Weir pretty well, which matters. Toast to the man

on almost every song is great. highlights are short but potent Let It Grow, a funky GSET, a hypnotic He's Gone, a Bluesy Truckin' and a slinky NFA>GDTRFB. also, i distinctly hear horns very far in the background (Martin Fierro?) on LIG but this dosen't seem to be listed as a horns show..surprised no one else has mentioned it.

Different yet magnificent!
I can understand why some people don't like this show: it's unique ! Having listened to pretty much every circulating show from '65 to '73 I can say this
...
one stands out as being truly magnificent. Jerry is playing better than ever, coming up with new stuff all the time. Bobby _really_ amazed me for the first time - I'm not a Weir fan yet in this show he does some exceptional stuff. At one point Jerry lets him play solo for what seems an eternity --> I couldn't believe my ears (I guess Jerry couldn't either). Keith also does some very cool stuff... And the sound quality is top-grade! What else do you need?

Top of the Line
After downloading dozens of shows this concert rates as an ultimate listening experience. The tempo is upbeat; The playing is tight; And the tracks
...
are elongated into gem-quality, melodic (psychedelic) jam sessions which I particularly enjoy as a jazz enthusiast. Paring out a few songs, concentrating primarily on Jerry, this show pulls me in like few others. Compared against Kennedy Stadium (73-06-10) and Roscoe Maples Pavilion (73-02-09), both excellent show, there is a definite sense to convey a mellow, silvery sound, sending listeners into a transcending state rather than just providing them the usual line-up. I like this concert as a favorite because, to me, it represents a demarcation point where the band transforms from a good band into a great one. They're no longer diamonds in the rough. Of my favorite ''Dead'' concerts is the Jerry Garcia Band at the Keystone (77-07-23) - a truly reggae affair. This concert sits right next to it in the line-up.

Check out He's Gone
I don't have a problem with the set list. Not every show needs to have Dark Star or The Other One. Having the complete Weather Report Suite is a treat.
...
The WRS of Sept. 11 is better, however. There is an occasion mistake, including the entire Sing Your Blues Away (Jerry and Bob can't seem to figure out what to play). Eyes lacks the energy of other performance from this year. But a good show overall with a relaxed groove, with good sound. This show has my favorite He's Gone (so far), which slips nicely into a decent Truckin'->(a mellow)Not Fade Away->GDTRFB(fine until the final vocals)->NFA(mercifully short). I would have been happy at this show.

This is a really fine mellow show. Nice Eyes>China Doll, allowing for a few flubs. GSET is not totally ruined by Donna(also beware of GDTRFB, OMSN),
...
but I'd be remiss not to mention Let Me Sing Your Blues Away, which is truly a group effort. It's not often one gets to hear such a lousy song, sung terribly, and played worse by a great band in an otherwise great show. Striking! They immediately redeem themselves with a smooth and tasty China Cat > Rider. I don't see this one as a 5, but a strong 4.

A Wonderful Show
It is so great to be able to go back and listen again to shows one was at. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible. Gov. Rockefeller was trying to

prove to the public he was just as tough on drugs as anyone. The night before there had been a number of possession busts (many of them off-duty NYPD as I recall) and the scene was tense, but the energy level of the band replaced that with a very solid groove. The huge Skull and Roses banner towered above the band and the playing was just fantastic. Hard to think of a better 'Uncle' from that period. Phil and Bobby have a complete mind-synch going on so many tunes. Everyone sounded great and a good time was had by all!
